Suspect sought in bank robbery

The incident was reported at 9:56 a.m. after an armed man entered Bank North, N18630 U.S. 141, and demanded money, Marinette County Sheriff Jerry Sauve said Tuesday.

No employees were injured and no shots were fired, Sauve said.

The man left the bank northbound on U.S. 141 in a dark green Chevrolet Blazer made in the mid- to late 1990s with Wisconsin license plates FW-2865. The vehicle had previously been reported stolen from Langlade County, just west of Marinette County.

The robber is described as a man about 6-foot or slightly taller with a medium to large build, weighing about 200 pounds or more with a star-shaped tattoo with a red center on top of his right wrist. The man wore a shoulder-length, dark wig with sunglasses and a dark, brimmed hat. He was last seen wearing a maroon vest over a long sleeve shirt or jacket, long pants and newer, light-colored work boots.

Pembine is about 50 miles northwest of Marinette.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Marinette County Communications Center at 911 or (715) 732-7627, or the FBI office in Green Bay at (920) 432-3868.
